Life... But How To Live It? - Green lyrics

Sit back and try to remember All those times you ran away in anger On the run On the search for something new A life not only based on giving But also gaining Something real To make you feel you're more Than just a waste of human life We were green as the gra**, but we grew And nothing could stop us from growing And fighting our way through the dirt To be claiming our right to a life worth living We watch them coming in two by two That look in their eyes, they don't know what to do Trying so hard to play it "cool" No doubt that nine out of ten are hopeless fools But there's always one With the courage and the guts To see all the hard way through She is as green as the gra**, but she grows And nothing can stop her from growing And fighting her way through the dirt To be claiming her right to a life worth living Sit back and try to remember What a smile or two would have mean to you Break a crack in that total wall of silence To give that one out of ten the hope it takes to see it through She kept on working her a** off Day by day To keep those wheels running on It just got harder everyday Never expected much from anyone Never really got anything at all An occasional pat on the back From a few good friends Is not much living off at all And she decided to break with it all And none could stop her from leaving And fighting her way on her own To be claiming her right to a life worth living Now she's gone The emptiness she left behind Will always be so present in these rooms When you work so hard for something you believe in Just to end up facing that wall we built within When you cry And no one knows just what to do When you talk from your heart, and nobody listens Your friends Never really turned their backs on you Come back For a day or two, and we'll get drunk together Have a cup of tea, and talk about the things we do You know that certain things will last forever We're still as green...
